We like a lot of the same stuff on the other threads- you'll die for vegan cheesecake. DIE I say.

I finally forking found some... I think... there were two different damn cans. I chose the green/young jackfruit. Don't know if Neo made the right choice. And, I don't know what to do with it now that it's in my possession.

I've never had soy curls and I haven't had a lot of ethnic foods like Ethiopian or Indian, etc.

Durian. I've had canned jackfruit, which was sort of flavorless and odorless. I've seen whole durian at asian markets but always been afraid to try it. But some day I will work up the courage to taste the custardy mellon with the aroma of rotting flesh!

Still havent tried tempeh, keeping meaning to use it in a new recipe

A really simple recipe is "Chicken" salad. Cube and steam the tempeh. Let it cool and mix in vegan mayo, quartered grapes, parsley, garlic and any other seasoning you want. Eat it on mixed greens or in a pita... simple and delicious!

Dandelion greens. Mustard greens (I've actually tried to find these to make a yam mustard greens soup from Vegan Soul Food but couldn't. I'll look again next summer..or whenevs they're in season). Natto.

Oh, lots of stuff I haven't tried like Daiya, soy curls, etc.and tons beyond that . It seems weird to buy dandelion greens to me, which is why I thought of them first. I see them all the time, but I remember when I was a kid, picking dandelions and thinking they're a common weed.

I'll definitely have to try vegan cheesecake - I have a recipe from VegNews for cherry cheesecake that I really want to make but fresh cherries are just so forking expensive. And not in season right now.
